Tutorial exercise: (Calling all Noobs)


#561

Sad to say, I lost all my work in the process of rebooting my system and reinstalling OS. :cry: :argh:

I dont feel like starting over now because when the summer is well over due, I will go on to using Maya. Im attending a school of 3d art. Maybe I’ll pick up max some day, who knows.
So long people.


#562

just so so :bounce: :bounce:


#563

had some time to work on it, a little update.
I even gained some speed in modelling, thats amazing how much fun this is!!!:bounce:


#564

Looking good RiotManZ.

Many seem to have abandoned this project. Is it because you are like me, and have a short attention span, or are there other reasons?


#565

Hi everyone,
Is this thread still active? I just started this tutorial and I already came across some kind of problem.
I started modeling the sword and it is not symmetrical like in the tutorial, I think. On one side of the handle triangles are indented and on the other side they are protruding. The screenshots in the tutorial don’t seem to show those triangles at all.
Can sb. tell a newb like me what’s wrong?
Here is a screenshot to illustrate my problem:

Cheers,
Ben

I dont know if it really helps, but I would selct the edge in the middle of this poly and turn it. Otherwise I would convert my mesh to Editable poly and remove the edge…
:shrug:


#567

ah that’s the trick.
no idea y this occurred tho :shrug:
but turning worked for now (I had to do it everywhere tho to make it symmetrical), thanks RiotManz.
Schöne Grüße nach Deutschland :beer:
Ben

thanks.

Hey big!

Everything is fine :stuck_out_tongue: - after detaching some polys and applying push modifier to this part u have to rescale it (the way u want your boot to look) and when it’s done, simply go to push modifier and collapse the stack (press the right mouse button and select “Collapse all” or “collapse to” doesn’t really matter and then u can tweak it and do whatever u want to do.

Have a nice day :slight_smile: !

nevermind.

Ok I thought it would be fun(?) to share how it has gone for me with my first model. I learned alot, but I have made so many misstaked it’s not even funny so I’m taking a break from it. Here it is:

my model 75% finished


#572

hey, at the bottom of the first page where you make the head

it shoes the front and side view, now i think there is a problem with it

has anyone here experienced a problem or has this been discussed already?

such as, it shoes edges in the side view but not in the front view etc.


#573

hmm I’m not sure but I think the edge in the side view is just oblivious (where one poly has 5 verticles instead of 4).
Other than that I think it’s ok, I guess just a small mistake in the screenshot :shrug:.

Good to see that you haven’t given up on Joan yet, Xilica.
Haven’t had time to work on the model at all recently, the sword is finished, however.

BTW I like your new avatar. :buttrock:

cya

#574

sweet ben thanks for the tips

glad you like my avatar :beer:


#575

well my “tips” weren’t that special, I just confirmed that there seemed to be sth. wrong.
I just looked at the pictures again, and this poly with seemingly 5 verts is right. (it only has 4) It continues to appear in the side views of the head in the following pages. I think it seems to have one oblivious edge because the poly behind it is hidden by the polys in front. (a few polys are normal to the camera and therefore “invisible” in the side view).
I hope I made myself clear enough!?
:shrug:


#576

yep man, you made it perfectly clear and i kidna figured that out

but it’s good to confirm some things

basically some edges are behind the outer most ones so that they are hidden which gets confusing if you don’t realize it :thumbsup:
